DakNet is an ad hoc wireless network introduced by First Mile Solutions in 2002 to provide digital connectivity in rural India, utilizing a store-and-forward concept. The architecture consists of mobile access points, hubs, and kiosks, with data transmitted automatically as the mobile access points, often mounted on vehicles, move between these kiosks and the internet hub. This initiative aims to enhance access to services like education and e-government while being cost-effective and easy to deploy.

4. DakNet is an ad hoc network which uses wireless technology
to provide digital connectivity.
DakNet takes advantages of the existing transportation and
communication infrastructure to provide digital connectivity.
Store and forward concept is used.
It is introduced by First Mile Solutions in 2002.
This idea was introduced in India in 2005.

5. There are three main parts of DakNet
architecture
Mobile access point
 Hub
 Kiosk
5

6. Mobile access point
 Data is transported by means of a mobile access point.
 It automatically and wirelessly collects and delivers
data from/to each kiosk on the network.
 Low cost WIFI radio transceivers automatically
transfer the data stored in the MAP.
 Mobile Access Point is mounted on and powered by a
bus or motorcycle, or even a bicycle

8. HUB
 It is a common connection point for devices in a
network.
 It is used to connect segments of a LAN.
 It contains multiple ports.
 When the vehicle passes near the hub, it
synchronizes all the data from different kiosks
using the internet.

10. KIOSK
 It is a booth providing a computer related service
such as ATM.
 In each village there is kiosk.
 It requires a user interface that can be used
without training.

 Physical transport, in this case a public bus, carries a mobile access point
between village kiosks and a hub with Internet access. Data automatically
uploads and downloads when the bus is in range of a kiosk or the hub.

12.  Store-and-forward concept.
 Government bus is used.
 The bus contains a simple WiFi installation
and server.
 Low cost Wi-Fi radio transceivers transfer
data stored in MAP
12

13.  As the MAP equipped vehicle comes within the range of a village
Wi-Fi enabled kiosk it automatically senses the wireless
connection and uploads and downloads the data.
 As it comes in the range of Internet access points (the hub) it
automatically synchronizes the data from kiosks using the
Internet.
Daknet has following two functions:

 The average cost to make a village kiosk ready is $185.
 Assuming each bus serves 10 villages the average cost for
enabling each village is $243.

15. Daknet is currently in action in many places. They
are
Bhoomi initiative in Karnataka.
 SARI (Sustainable Access for Rural India) project
of Tamilnadu.
 Ratnakiri project in Cambodia.

16. BHOOMI INITIATIVE IN INDIA
 Bhoomi, an initiative to computerize the land
records of villagers is the first e-governance project
in India.
